The Details
New dates coming soon!
Why the date change?
Upon reflection, we realized that while we made sure this event worked with our internal schedule as well as that of the venue’s, we neglected to review all of the “happenings” in the Floral Industry. We’ve had great interest and so many of you have requested a later date that doesn’t conflict with other events that that is what we are going to do!
Stay tuned for more information soon!

Zoë has been my right hand for close to 20 years now; she is my greatest advocate and counsel. Her calmness, customer service, and organization are unparalleled and only rival her eye for design. She excels in both business and design, making her a leader in the industry that others look to. We have dedicated our lives to collaborating together in this business and I am beyond grateful that we have learned to do it beautifully. - Ian
